What Jobs Are We Doing in the Garden Today... MK3.. 2013

Go on then, tell us what "entrance gate motor-arms" is in Dutch

 

Now re treated.

 

Had a good tidy round...swept and faffed...was going to dead head baskets but rain has stopped play...have taken some Geranium cuttings in the shelter of the GH....I'm trying the vitamin C test that Monty was doing on GW the other week

 

Retreated shed.

 

Good point. Probably needs the extra width for that shredder he's just ordered

 

Haven 't got the shredder yet not being delivered for two weeks,that sheds for garden tools.pots and the like,it's close to the greenhouse.

 

Just been out doing a bit of nocturnal gardening. I noticed a fair bit of leaf damage on a couple of my greenhouse peppers today, so out I went after dark and sure enough there were two big juicy snails munching away.
Not any more they aren't.

 

Entraance Gaate Moytoor Aarms.

 

Spoken like a true Englishman. Now if you could just raise your voice a little then all those funny foreign chappies would be able to understand you.

 

Oh, ok!

Though you would probably be understood, Zigs, and worthy of a "pintje s'avonds"

 

Put up my winter greenhouse, put some plants in, to give me some spare trays.

Potted up some Foxglove plantlets, and put in some onion sets, and sorted out red onions ready for tomorrow.

Picked Runner beans and French beans for our dinner.

Cleaned my own pickling onions, resting in brine.Got the secret recipe vinegar cooked up. That's the job ready for Friday.

Got a load of plastic to cut to make labels sitting on my table, so I can do that while I am watching TV.

I think I shall call it a day then.

 

Cut the lawn, edged, hoovered the lawn (ok, that one was a fib, but I was tempted!) brushed the dahlia petals up, deadheaded and weeded. Brushed the dahlia petals, the begonia heads and the cosmos petals off the drive. Nice and neat again for a few days.

 

Congrats on the year without the fags Al

 

Varnished inside of my shed with some dark floor varnish that's been in the garage awhile(looks good).
Chopped down loads of brambles ,I have three huge piles ready for my new shredder in a couple of weeks,same again tomorrow.

 

Thanks zigs!
28 years of smoking, and its been a year without a sniff of one! I can't believe how quick it's gone really. Mrs al is chuffed to bits! ( I'm still waiting on that 'promise' from her though! ) still, I've got me garden.................
